Teen at the cove on Sunday
I was surprised to hear that the teen who died on Sunday ,might have hit his head on the metal poles. There has been no mention of anything else.Someone stated that he had a hole on the side of his head when he came out of the water. This is so shocking. I see children always jumping off of them. Does anyone have any more information? Someone has to know something. This is so sad to me. To think that people had been swimming with him for at least 45 min. No one saw anything.. Could this be?
